The apostrophe shown with some aspects
of the additional tables marks those aspects which have a large
orb (above 50% of maximum orb), and which should probably be
ignored. By doubling the number of planets, the probability of
an aspect is increased, and orbs should be reduced accordingly.
This is true for any chart which is the result of a combination
of two different charts.

Natal,
Progressed and Solar Arc Chart, combined:

AC sol

Ascendant of the previous Solar
Return Chart, erected for the birth place

MC sol

Midheaven of the previous Solar
Return Chart, erected for the birth place

This is a method used by the late Bernd A. Mertz

Where
can I find out what the symbols (squares, triangles, etc.) in the
table
that goes with the chart mean?

These symbols show the aspects of the planets. You can find more
information
on aspects and their meanings in the "Aspects" section of our
"Introduction
to Astrology".
